Result of the Heavy Government Din- bursements. According to the New York Evening Post, the disbursements of the United States treasury this month ve made such in- roads on the supply of “greenbacks” (United States legal tender notes) on hand that the government has been compelled to resume paying out treasury notes at all the sub- treasuries, and it is likely that its supply of that form of money will still further de- crease. For some months past the government, pursuant to the policy suggested by Assist- ant United States Treasurer Conrad N. Jordan, did not pay out any treasury notes that it could avoid, thereby tending to diminish the withdrawals of gold. because treasury notes are redeemable in gold at any of the subtreasuries, while the United States notes (commonly called greenbacks) are redeemable in gold only at the sub- erooaurics in New York city and San Fran- cisco. According to W. L. Muhleman, deputy assistant United States treasurer in New Ycrk, the government as a result of the policy cf not paying out treasury notes suc- ceeded last year in accumulating in the treasury about $40,000,000 of the $128,000,000 treasury notes outstanding. The increase in the gold reserve on the other hand tend- ed to decrease the amount of United States notes (greenbacks) on hand, and that Gecrease has been made greater by reason of the growing deficit in the revenue re- quired to meet the increasing disburse- nents, The deficit this month is expected to be at least $15,000,000, which will still further deplete the government's stock of greenbacks. Already since January 1 the New York subtreasury has lost $9,000,000 on balance at the clearing house. That loss, though, will be offset slightly by gains from the banks over the counter for various accounts; but the treasury payments for interest alone this week will aggregate abcut $4,000,000. Thus the decrease in the United States le- gal tender notes on hand has made it nec- essary for the government to pay out treas- ury notes; but as there is no demand for gold now the reason for retaining as many of, them as possible in the treasury no longer exists. An interesting feature in the situation. though, is that while the treasury is pay- ing out millions of dollars of notes that are redeemable again by the government in gold, the treasury is receiving only silver (certificates) in payment of customs duties. In other words, while discharging its own cbligations in gold, the government is com- pelled to receive, id is receiving, only sil- ver for customs dutles, taxes, etc. 2 eee SS Mrs. Markward Wants a Divorce.

A Havana special to the New York Mail and Express says: The escape from in- stant death of Harry Delgado, the Mail and Express correspondent, was little short of marvelous. It was learned here yester- day that he has undergone an operation in the San Ambrosia Hospital, and that it will be determined at the end of nine days whether he is likely to live or die. Del- gado’s vitality was much reduced by his experiences. He lay for ten weeks in a thatched hut without medical atten- tion. When his hiding place was discovered he was so weak that -he could scarcely move. He had no arms’ and no ammuni- tion. The commander of the squad was about to dispatch him with a machete, after asking him his name. One of the Spanish soldiers remembered that there was a reward of 200,000 pesetas for the capture of Ricardo Delgado or Perido Del- gado, suspected of being filibustering agents in Florida. They believed Henry Delgado to be one of these two, and carried him off to Havana, where they expected to see him shot after having received the blood money. COUNTRY REAL ESTATE.

THE UNFORGIVING REGULARS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, January 5, 1897. Tilinois has a number of eminent demo- crgts who think the future of the demo- cratic party is going to be determined within the next few days. And they think the determination will take place in Chica- g0. The occasion is Andrew Jackson day. Democrats in other parts of the country may be quarreling and’ celebrating January 8, but the Illinois impression is that these events elsewhere will not make political history, as they will in Chicago. They as- sume that the whole Mississippi valley is going to be influenced by what takes place. The correctness of this assumption is yet to be demonstrated, but there are condi- tions which give it force. There will be two celebrations of Jack- son day. The gold standard democrats will renew their fealty to traditional principles. The free silver wing will celebrate the virtues of Old Hickory as a friend of the masses, and will draw the parallel between his warfare against the United States bank and their present struggle against the “money power.” The gold democrats will have a select observance of the day. At one time it looked as though they would be able to make it a genuine rally of the western democracy, which claimed to have held the true party faith inviolate in re- pudiating the Chicago ticket and plat- form. The voting for McKinley was a mere incident in that fight for the true faith. The gold standard democrats were ready to forgive their erring brethren, who by reason of erring in such large numbers have kept control of the party organization. Their overtures for reconciliation were not met half-way, and then they started out by themselves to have a celebration which would be an awakening of old-fashioned democracy. The committee which went to Washington failed to secure the presence of Secretary Olney and other distinguished men. So Franklin MacVeagh, ex-Repre- sentative Ben Cable, ex-Mayor John P. Hopkins, perhaps Controller Eckels and a few others of state reputation will have the occasion to themselves. Senator “John M. Palmer may not be able to attend. In a2 Queer Position. ‘Phe men who do: sit at the banquet table and drink to the memory of Jackson may wonder why they are there. Most of them have decided that the ‘tariff policy of the McKinley administraticn is going to keep them from further affiliation with their jate allies. With this ifeeling their own future is a big interfogation mark. ‘The free silver dei ts have also trou- bles of their own. They'are divided about the future. After ‘the: ‘election some of them are earnestly in’favor of forgiving the past and lettifig ‘the gold deserters come back. They djd-pot intend to give this class front seats, yet would have been willing to set aside a row of seats not too far back. They recallé@ that democracy was always string #8 the party of the op- position, and thought this might form a natural basis for the reunion of the ele- ments which had drifted apart. Some of them were willing to lét the 16 to 1 ratio be buried with other Gead issues of the campaign. ° Possibly*instead of two Jackson observances there ‘fright have been one, had not Gov. Altglfa interposed his veto. . He would have fellowshiping with geld democrats—" traitors,” he called them. Harmony, ot attempted, but the movement fn’ favér of it showed that the regular democratic. organization was split into two’ factions, ‘Jed by outgoing Gov. Altgeld and outgoing State Chairman Hinrichsen, respectively. Mr. Hinrichsen is one of the three democrats elected to Congress from Illinois, so his own future is secure. ‘The struggle between him and Altgeld for control of the-state committee is the culmination of a contest which was going on at the time of the Chicago con- venion, and which was with difficulty kept under cover during the campaign. Its out- come is not important in a national sense, because neither Hinrichsen nor Altgeld would dare go contrary to the influences of the masses in the party, who tolerate® only such leaders as stand up for the ideas by which the masses ire moved. They may move from free silver to socialism, and if they do both Altgeld and Hinrichsen wilt move with them. A Silver Jackson Day. ‘These personal differences will not be per- mitted to mar the Jackson day demonstra- tion of the regular or silver democrats. Words of encouragement and advice, if not of wisdom, are promised from William J. Bryan. The hope is to make the occasion the means of further propagating the Ideas which Mr. Bryan represents as the basis for future political action. The democratic senators in Washington who solemnly de- cided after the Atlanta lecture that Mr. Bryan was not available for leadership in 1900 may be right, but the rank and file in the west has not yet got around to that opinion, It cannot be gainsaid that the time and place are well chosen for ques- tioning the existing order of things and again offering the panacea of the Chicago platform. Chicago is “under the weather” commercially and industrially. More men are out of work than during any winter since 1883. The bank failures, while the lcgical outcome of bad banking methods, and in no way due to public or party poli- tics, have added to the distress and dis- content. It is probably true that if anoth- er election were to be held today the 60,000 majority which Chicago gave McKinley would be reversed. In addition to the general causes affecting the whole coun- try, the city has suffered from special causes. In time these local and peculiar conditions will disappear, and Chicago will go forward with the rest of the country in the gradual restoration of prosperity. Yor the present the depression has to be taken into account in judging the vital- ity which it gives to the issues on which the campaign was fought. The democrats who supported these issues and still up- hold them have numbers at their back, and in themselves there is strength so great that. they easily keep control of the party organization. Mr. Bynum’s Delusion. The delusion of Mr. Bynum and others associated with him fn the national demo- cratic party, that @fter ‘the chastening of defeat they would)go in, and take the or- ganization, is dispélled,is to the western states. The Chi * Jackson celebration is meant to destroy‘it e: ly, and the con- ditions are. favorable to this result. Lo- cality is the strongest. faction, and the po- litical discussion throngbout the northwest is likely to take its, tone'from the sentiment shown here. Bryaft-ts ‘Koing to exhort his followers to keep the ization and to keep up the fight. 2 It is the hope of the Ieral democrats that they may secure results soon.

Bryan Says Jackson’ Bank Fight ‘Will Be imitated. In the banquet hall of the Tremont House at Chicago the silver branch of the democ- racy held last night its banquet in celebra- tion of “Jackson day.” The banquet was under the auspices of the W. J. Bryan League, and was held one day in advance of Jackson day proper, as the distinguished guest of the league, W. J. Bryan, could not be present tonight, having an engagement in Omaha. It was fully midnight when Carter H. Harrison, who presided, rapped for order, and in a few well-chosen words introduced Mr. Bryan. The latter was greeted with great applause when he rose to speak in response to the toast of “‘Andrew Jackson,” and frequently throughout his address. he was compelled to pause, while his hearers took time to demonstrate their approval of his sentiments. In opening, Mr. Bryan said: “In View of the fact that the club under whose aus- pices we meet had done me the honor to take my name, I feel that it is only just to the club and to myself to repeat here what I have said elsewhere, namely, that my judgment disapproves of the use of my name in connection with democratic or sil- ver clubs. My objection is a two-fold one. In the first place, I believe that a cause is so much greater than any individual that it should not be burdened by any mistakes which he may make. During a campaign & Cause must be identified, for the time being, with candidates for public office, but when the campaign is over and the candi- date no longer stands in a representative capacity, I believe it is wise to disassociate him from the cause as far as possible, in order that public attention may be cen- tered upon principles and policies rather than upon men. “The other object is a personal one. I do not want to stand for four years in the at- titude of a candidate fer the presidency. I do not want zealous friends to be contin- ually alarmed lest I should do something to alienate some of those who have given me their confidence and support.” In speaking of democrats who voted for McKinley, Mr. Bryan said: “It is strange that those who secured for their candidate less than one per cent of the popular vote of the United States should insist that they are entitled to be called the real democrats, and then urge their claim to respectability in numbers on the ground that the major- ee them voted for the republican candi- ates.” Referring to the recent bank troubles in the west, Mr. Bryan said: “While the republicans haye not yet had an opportunity to write their policies upon the statute book, we have proceeded far enough to discover that the mere announce- ment of republican success does not restore prosperity, If the advocates of free silver had won, every bank and bysiness failure would have been attributed to their suc- cess, and the gold standard papers would have been loud in their wailing. But the republican organs, although compelled to chronicle an increasing number of business failures over the corresponding period of last year, never connect these failures with republican success, During the month of November, 1896, seven national banks failed, and in the month of December nine more closed their doors. I find upon ex- amination of statistics that December wit- nessed the closing of more national banks than were closed in any other month since January 1, 1893, excepting the three months of the panic of that year.

ADVANTAGE 70 THE UNITED STATES North and South Lines of Natural Inter-Communication. MR. LAURIER COMING Correspondence of The Evening Star. OTTAWA, Canada, January 2, 1897. Mr. Laurier, the Canadian premier, or Sir Richard Cartwright, minister of trade, will go to Washington in the next fort- night to sound the republican leaders on the subject of reciprocity between the two countries. The dominion parliament meets in February or March, when the liberals will introduce large tariff changes. As it is expected that Congress will hold a spe- cial session in April to pass a new tariff bill, the Canadian ministers are naturally desirous to know what, if anything, can be done in the way of bringing about closer trade relations. The following Statement was made today to the correspondent of The Star by a prominent liberal, who knows the views of Mr. Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright: “The liberal government, now in power in Canada, is piedged to seek closer com- ,mercial relations with the United States. The Canadian tories also favor closer re- lations; they would like to have a free interchange of natural products, but, as they happen to be protectionists, are not disposed to include factory goods, the sup- Position being that the American manufac- turer would swamp the Canadian. Liber- als take it for granted that it would be useless to ask the United States for a reciprocity treaty in natural products alone, and are ready to negotiate a treaty comprehending some or all natural pro- ucts, with such manufactured articles as may be mutually agreed upon. Canada Naturally Our jomer. “A glance at the map will enable a strang- er to grasp without trouble the elementary arguments for closer trade relations with the United States. The state of Main: projects like a wedge to within a few miles of the Lower St. Lawrence, leaving the seaboard provir lying by them- selves within the New England area, to which by geography they belong. Coming westward, Quebec and Ontario are separat- ed from Manitoba by a thousand miles of rock and water, while Manitoba is separat- ed from British Columbia by the Rocky mountains. The dominion is thus broken up into four blocks of territory, each of which, if let alone, would trade not with the rest so much as with the states ad- joining it to the south. Instead of moving from north to south, trade is now artiti- cially driven east and west within the same climatic zone. The only market for Canadian minerals is in the United States; they cannot be sent to England, and; while the United States tariff remains as it is, cannot be properly developed at all. For much that the Canadian farmer raises England is only a second-best market; his natural market is the United States, from which he is excluded. The Nova Scotia fisherman is in the same case, and so were the lumbermen till Congress removed the lumber duties. To sum it all up, the Ca- nadian people are prevented by the United States tariff from making the most of their labor and resources. Promising them clos- er trade relations with Africa or the An- tipodes is not much more to the purpose than a promise of closer relations with Mars or Saturn. New York, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Eng- land, from which they are divided by noth- ing but a surveyor's line, would be worth more to them as markets than a hundred Australias. If the richest group of states in the Union were commercially divorced from the rest and hemmed around by a double row of tariffs they would soon, like Canada, want loser relations. Attempts at Reciprocity. “Efforts to obtain a new treaty have been made by Canada on various occasions. In 1s90 Mr. Blaine arranged a treaty with Newfoundland, a separate colony, but the tory government, then in office in Canada, objected to it, and Lord Salisbury shelved it. In 1891 Mr. Blaine (see his biography by Miss Dodge) wrote to Prezident Herri- son that ‘it was of the highest possible importance that there be no treaty of reciprocity with Canada. They will aim at natural. products, “to get all the products of the farm on us in exchange for heaven knows what. The fact is,’ he went on, ‘we do not want any intercourse with Canada except through the medium of a tariff, and she will find that she has a hard row to hoe, and will ultimately, I believe, seek a2mission to the Union.’ At that time the tories in Canada were seeking reciprocity. Mr. Blaine’s 4dea ‘that Canada should be starved into annexation was prevalent in the United States when the treaty of 1854 DR.

Jadtold brought to an end. Amongst Can dians there is a feeling of resenument against that form of coercion. Upon the treaty, imperfect as It was as &@ means of intercourse, Canada did the bulk of her foreign trade with the United States. The moment the treaty was abre gated Canadians went to work to put their trade with England on a better foot! and to seek new chanm im this hemi- sphere. The upshot was that a good «cal of the produce which had gone to the American market began to zo to Britain. the West Indies, Newfoundland and Sou'h America, where it encountered that of the American farmer. That is to say, if the Amaican farmer was relieved of Ca competition at home he had me abroad, which was much the came thing Possible Trade. f Canada loses by the d States tariff! she is not the only los Between 1854 and 1866 American exports to the Brit- ish provinces amounted t0 as much as the American exports to Russia, Haly and Austria, China and Japan, Brazil, the Ar- gentine Republic, the Central Ame states and the Sandwich islands all together.

This is a discrimination against Great Britain arising from causes beyond control. But to openly and deliberate criminate against her, as, for instance allowing American pig tron or steel rails in free while taxing those from ingiand, is something no self-governing colony has yet done.
